Silly Little Country

Scott points to some appallingly Grim Humour

The unions start cashing in. Looking more and more like Chicago, which provides at least some change, and as for hope, your mileage may vary. Mickey Kaus' analysis is quoted.

What if the contract got switched because the previous work force, you know, sucked? ... P.S.: For example, the Obama administration itself can be seen as having won a new contract to perform the same Federal services, at the same location, as the previous contractor, the Bush Administration. Did Obama keep all of Bush's employees in order to reduce "disruption" and enjoy "the benefits of an experienced and trained work force that is familiar with the Federal Governments ... facilities"? I don't think so! ...

Obama did keep one. But I agree with Kaus. And actually, so far as I have seen in developed countries in these times, the main purpose of unions is in fact to defend workers who suck.
